"Cassiopeia" lyrics - SARA BAREILLES

Come in close, now it's time to tell the story:
Long ago, and so many years before we
Ever were, ever dreamed we even could be
There was her and her very first heartbeat
All alone in a corner of the night sky
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight
Fell in love with another burning bright
She dreamed of a way to ignite
She said

[Chorus:]
"Tonight
Come on, come on, collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven
Why
Come on, come on, collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven"
(Just like heaven)
(Just like heaven)

Such a shame, nowhere near even a near miss
Light years away from the hope of being sun-kissed
Anchored home in her interstellar sea
But poor lonely Cassiopeia
So she sighs, and she burns with desperation
Learns to cry over love of constellations
Then: a spark from a star shooting too close
They both smiled; what a day to explode!
She said

[Chorus:]
"Tonight
Come on, come on, collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven
Why
Come on, come on, collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven"
(Just like heaven)
(Just like heaven)

[Outro:]
Long ago, in a sky built before us
A supernova grew up to be stardust
